I'm falling back on my old superstitions......

Pork roast with sauerkraut planned for our supper. I'll probably make some spetzlof (spatzel) to go along side because that's the family tradition Dane grew up with.

I have some fresh collards and turnip greens (my new Southern trational food) but I'm thinking of waiting until tomorrow to fit them into a meal.

For years and years and years I made a pork roast,mashed potatoes and fried apples.


I bought lobster tails for NYE and it rained me out. So I will grill them today..

I usually make black eyed peas for New Years Day. I usually have ham hocks and collard greens to go with them but a couple times I made a bean dip with them. Once a couple years ago, I made black eyed peas on New Years Eve and didn't have any on New Years Day. The next day I broke three bones in my ankle.

Having black eyed peas later today but this time I am having them in the slow cooker with bacon, ham and tomatoes. I have some greens that I plan to start in a little bit.

Happy New Year all... Norm, what did you do with your collard green? did you add it in the soup? I'm planning to cook black-eyed peas soup with ham and ham hocks too, but wondering what to do with the green...

My mother would love you. She was from Texas and any bean with ham hocks was right
up her alley. I find black-eyed peas a bit earthy tasting but then I haven't had them the way you make them Norm.

I am watching the TOR parade and it takes me back. I used to volunteer to glue the flowers and such on the floats. It was sheer, hard labor and always freezing. I remember one year when someone knocked over a pail of glue and it landed on top of a girl's head. It took buckets of solvent to get it out and I am sure her scalp was sore as hell. After we lost our house in a fire, we moved to this huge penthouse on Orange Grove Blvd where all of the floats and bands line up for the parade. It was so much fun because we didn't have to freeze our asses off outside yet we got to watch the parade and walk around and look at all of the floats. One year we had the Budweiser Clydesdales out front. They are as big as elephants and poop just as much. They had handlers that spent their entire time shoveling $hit. Nice of them to keep the streets clean but I doubt that it really would have mattered. You wouldn't believe the amount of trash that is left after the parade. Somehow the city manages to get it all cleaned up in a day.

I think we will have NY steaks tonight with potatoes Romanof and roasted asparagus. Means I have to go to the store but that's ok, I am hungry for a change.

Imelda, I did end up adding them to the chicken stock and tomatoes that the ham and beans are cooking in. I cut the stems out of them and cut them up small because the stems are bitter and the leaves don't shrink up like spinach does.

Bugster, My mom was from Arkansas and liked black eyed peas or navy beans with ham hocks a lot too. I found dried black eyed peas taste better than canned ones. I like them OK but don't generally get around to making them more than once a year. We like white beans with ham hocks better. I don't care much at all for lima beans.

Good Golly Miss Molly! Those are HUGE tails! Looks like you're set for the night (and then some....).

(I'm sure they garner as much "New Year Luck" as my pork and sauerkraut.....but, Lawdy, how I do wish I lived next door to you!)

No traditions for NYDay... just having a quick meal of steak, roasted plain sweet potato and corn with leftover chocolate cake for dessert.

I had way too much Italian food with sauce the past week. Need to get back to regular food now; although my freezer if full of sauce, raviolis, sausages, meatballs....enough to last for 6 months without me cooking any tomato sauce! Incredible....Never thought I would be saying that I had enough Italian sauce foods.... Dinners in January, 2016 652761166 Dinners in January, 2016 652761166

I'd do a pile of fresh vegetables, maybe a bit of pasta.....just because I love some pasta......


Or, maybe I'd just cut that tail meat up and put it on a sauce dish of butter......

OMG!

Italian Pork Sausages, and Ravioli for Dinner.
A Usual Italian New Years Day Dinner. Home made ravioli would be the better, but we had commercial made ones.
Usually there is a pork roast, but not this year.

For good luck for the coming year, we wash our hands first thing in the morning, holding a Silver Dollar coin as we wash with soap. Drop the silver dollar while washing and drying your hands, will bring bad luck during the year! ..... Just a tradition, and I don't know where it came from. ?????

Did we do that wash up yet?? ...Naw! ,,, not yet. Tomorrow when kids come over.
Birthday dinner her for Granddaughter ( 23 y/o ) the 29th Dec.
We will have Chinese take out..... Easy Easy.....

Got my collards/turnip greens and zipper peas cooked for supper. They both represent "Luck-to-come-money" in Southern New Year's lore....

I hope my $3 lottery ticket that won me $10 isn't all the "Lucky Money" to come our way this year!

I wish you luck Beth!
I got like 10 scratch offs from DIL's Mother for Christmas, and my luck is so bad, I scratched the winning numbers off two of the tickets. I cannot for the life of me scratch off that silver stuff without mutilating the card.
Same with tearing off a check in the checkbook. I always rip the corner off a check as I tear it out of the book. No No

Supper was early (someone was 'hungry'......'starving!') and pretty darn good for a Southern Classic (almost).

Pan fried ham steak with greens and zipper peas and a side of cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet.

Yum!
